[0020] The present disclosure will now be discussed with reference to several example implementations. It should be understood that these implementations are discussed only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and thus implement the present disclosure, rather than implying any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0021] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0022] For example, in response to receiving an active request from a user, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly prompt the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information. Thus, the user can autonomously choose whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure according to the prompt message.

[0023] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving an active request from the user, the prompt information may be sent to the user in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt information may be presented in text form. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry a selection control for the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0024] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet the relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0025] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects, unless explicitly stated. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0027] In this article, a smartphone is used as an example to show an exemplary user interface, but those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to other devices that may have different screen aspect ratios, such as tablet computers, laptops, desktop computers, wearable devices with screens, and devices with foldable screens. In addition, the interfaces provided in this article are for illustrative purposes, some of which may be omitted or have different numbers, and may also include more elements not shown. In addition, the interface according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may have a different layout from the interface shown in the accompanying drawings, and the positions of the various elements may also be different. The present disclosure is not limited in these respects.

[0028] The inventors have noticed some problems. The existing interactive design of live shopping lacks an effective way to display information about items added to the shopping cart from the current live broadcast room to users (such as quantity, total price, discount information, etc.). Through research, it is noted that when users buy items from their shopping carts, they often only buy products from the current live broadcast room. At this time, the information that users are most interested in is the information about items that have been added to the shopping cart in the current live broadcast room. Therefore, the lack of shopping information in the current live broadcast room does not conform to user habits, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0029] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a shopping cart dedicated to the live broadcast room, which is dedicated to accommodating items in the current live broadcast room, and does not include items in other live broadcast rooms. For example, a live broadcast activity initiated by store A is currently being carried out in the live broadcast room, and the shopping cart proposed according to the present disclosure only includes items from store A. Such a shopping cart can be called a live broadcast room shopping cart (live cart) or a mini shopping cart (mini cart). The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an interface design and user interaction based on the live broadcast room shopping cart, thereby improving the user experience of users selecting items and settling accounts through the live broadcast room shopping cart.

[0030] It should be noted that a shopping cart that can accommodate all the items added to the live broadcast application is also provided herein, which can include items from multiple live broadcast rooms, not limited to the items in the current live broadcast room. Such a shopping cart can be referred to as a total shopping cart. It is understandable that settlement through the total shopping cart is also possible, and the present disclosure does not limit this aspect. In this article, unless otherwise specified, the shopping cart refers to the live broadcast room shopping cart.

[0031] The following references Figures 1 to 9 Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0032] Figure 1 An exemplary interface 100 for live shopping according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. When a user uses an electronic device to participate in a live shopping activity, the electronic device may display Figure 1 For example, a user can join a live broadcast room through a video application of an electronic device to watch the host introduce an item. In some implementations, the user can click a shopping icon on the screen to enter a shopping experience such as Figure 1 Interface 100 is shown.

[0033] The interface 100 includes a live broadcast room area 101, from which the user can watch the video stream of the current live broadcast room. The interface 100 also includes a navigation bar 102, which may include information about the current live broadcast room and one or more interactive controls, such as a shopping cart icon 103. In some implementations, the shopping cart icon 103 may be linked to the interface of the live broadcast room shopping cart, so that when the user clicks or touches the shopping cart icon 103, the electronic device may jump to display the interface of the live broadcast room shopping cart. In some implementations, the total number of items in the live broadcast room shopping cart may be displayed in or near the shopping cart icon 103. In some implementations, more additional information may be displayed near the shopping cart icon 103, for example, displaying marketing information in the form of bubbles. In some implementations, the shopping cart icon 103 may also be linked to the total shopping cart. Alternatively, the navigation bar may simultaneously display the icon of the live broadcast room shopping cart and the icon of the total shopping cart, and the two may have different graphics or symbols.

[0034] When the shopping cart icon 103 is linked to the shopping cart of the current live broadcast room and no items have been added to the shopping cart, the user can interact with the shopping cart icon 103 to jump to the interface such as Figure 2 The interface shown shows an exemplary interface 200 in which the shopping cart in the live broadcast room is empty.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the title 211 of the interface 200 indicates that the current interface 200 is the shopping cart of store A (i.e., the current live broadcast room). In the interface 200, the interface element 212 prompts "the shopping cart of the current live broadcast room is empty". The interface element 213 can prompt "return to the live broadcast room", and when the user interacts with the interface element 213, the interface 200 can jump back to Figure 1 Interface 100 is shown. Interface element 214 may be linked to the total shopping cart. When the user interacts with interface element 214, interface 200 may jump to the interface of the total shopping cart, thereby showing the user all items that have been added to the shopping cart.

[0036] return Figure 1 , below the navigation bar 102 is the point of interest information 104 about live shopping. The point of interest information 104 can arouse the user's interest to trigger shopping behavior, which can be preferential information, delivery information (for example, delivery fee reduction), etc.

[0037] Interface 100 also includes a list of items in the current live broadcast room. As shown in the figure, the current live broadcast room is providing item 1, item 2, item 3 or more. The user can perform up and down sliding operations in interface 100 to browse more items. In interface 100, area 105 includes relevant information about item 1, including a picture 108 of item 1, a text description (such as name, attributes, price, etc.), etc. In some implementations, area 105 may also include one or more points of interest information about item 1 (not shown).

[0038] Area 105 also includes a control 106 for directly purchasing an item and a control 107 for adding an item to a shopping cart. When the user decides to purchase the item immediately, the user clicks or touches control 106, causing interface 100 to jump to the checkout interface to purchase the item separately. When the user decides to add the item to the shopping cart, the user clicks or touches control 107, causing the item to be added to the live broadcast room shopping cart (correspondingly, it has been added to the total shopping cart).

[0039] In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking or touching the control 107, the interface 100 may present an animation of item 1 being added to the shopping cart, for example, an animation of the picture 108 of item 1 flying into the shopping cart icon 103, and the number of items displayed in or near the shopping cart icon 103 may be updated accordingly, i.e., incremented by 1. Once the user decides to go to the shopping cart for settlement, the user may click or touch the shopping cart icon 103, so that the interface 100 jumps to an interface for settling the items in the shopping cart of the current live broadcast room, which will be referred to below. Figure 4 Give a description.

[0040] Figure 3 An exemplary interface 300 for live shopping according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, including an interactive element 310 dedicated to a shopping cart in the current live broadcast room. A user can select items to purchase on the interface 300. In some embodiments, if there are no items in the shopping cart in the current live broadcast room, the interactive element 310 may not be displayed.

[0041] In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking a control in the interface 100 for adding items in the current live broadcast room to the shopping cart, such as control 107, the interface 300 may be presented. For example, the interactive element 310 may slide in from the bottom of the interface 100. Afterwards, the user may continue to perform operations to add more items to the shopping cart.

[0042] As shown, the interactive element 210 occupies the bottom of the interface 200 and has a bar shape. The interactive element 210 may also have other forms, for example, displayed at other positions of the interface 200, such as the left side, right side or top; the interactive element 210 may also have other geometric shapes, which are not limited by the present disclosure.

[0043] The interactive element 310 may indicate that at least one item in the current live broadcast room has been added to the shopping cart. As shown, the interactive element 310 may include a picture 330 of the items that have been added to the shopping cart in the current live broadcast room. If multiple items are added to the shopping cart, the pictures may be arranged in a partially overlapping manner. In some implementations, the pictures of the most recently added items may be arranged to the top, thereby intuitively providing the user with information about the items that have been added to the shopping cart in the current live broadcast room. In some embodiments, when an item is added to the shopping cart, an animation of a picture of the item currently being added to the shopping cart (e.g., picture 308 of item 1) falling into the picture area 330 of the interactive element 310 may be presented. This design is more in line with the intuitive feeling of the item being added to the shopping cart. In some implementations, the number of items that have been added to the shopping cart 350 may also be displayed near the picture 330, such as "2", indicating that there are two items in the shopping cart (which may be the same or different categories).

[0044] The interactive element 310 may also include point of interest information 340 in text form. The point of interest information 340 is used to arouse the user's interest to trigger the page of entering the shopping cart for consumption. In some embodiments, the point of interest information 340 may include the total price of at least one item that has been added to the shopping cart in the current live broadcast room, the number of items, the preferential information of the items, and / or the delivery information of these items (such as the delivery fee, whether it is reduced, etc.). The interactive element 310 can provide a larger space to display additional information such as points of interest.

[0045] The interactive element 310 also includes a control 320 ("Go to Cart") that links to a shopping cart. When receiving an interactive operation between the user and the control 320, the interface 300 can jump to the interface of the shopping cart dedicated to the current live broadcast room, for example Figure 4 Interface 400 is shown.

[0046] The interface 300 may also include a shopping cart icon 303 located above the item list. When receiving a user interaction operation with the shopping cart icon 303, the interface 300 may also jump to an interface dedicated to the shopping cart of the current live broadcast room. In some embodiments, the shopping cart icon may always be displayed, that is, whether the live broadcast room shopping cart is empty or includes items, it is displayed on the interface (e.g., icon 103 in interface 100, icon 303 in interface 300). Alternatively, the shopping cart icon may be displayed only when the live broadcast room shopping cart is empty (e.g., icon 103 in interface 100); when the shopping cart includes at least one item, the interface 300 may not display the shopping cart icon 303.

[0047] Figure 4 An exemplary interface 400 of a live broadcast room shopping cart according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein information of items that have been added to the live broadcast room shopping cart is displayed. In some embodiments, when a user clicks or touches icon 303 or control 320, interface 400 may be displayed.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, at the top of the interface 400, the information 411 of the current live broadcast room shopping cart ("Store A's shopping cart") is shown. The interface 400 also includes one or more areas 412 for items in the current live broadcast room, where each area 412 includes a separate selection control 413 and a control 414 for adjusting the number, as well as detailed information of the corresponding item, such as name, attributes, price, etc. In the default state after entering the interface 400, the controls 413 of all items can be selected, thereby prompting users to consume and settle as soon as possible.

[0049] Interface 400 also includes a control 415 linked to the total shopping cart. When the user clicks or touches control 415, interface 400 will jump to the interface of the total shopping cart, showing information about items added to the total shopping cart from all live broadcast rooms. Interface 400 also includes an area 416 showing the cost details of the items in the live broadcast room shopping cart, an area 417 for the total cost, and a settlement control 418. Settlement control 418 prompts to settle the items in the current live broadcast room. In the case where the user decides to settle and touches settlement control 418, interface 400 can jump to the settlement interface for completing the settlement of the items in the shopping cart.

[0050] Figure 5 An exemplary interface 500 for completing item settlement according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. As shown, the interface 500 includes an area 511 for confirming or modifying the delivery address, an area 512 for confirming or selecting a payment method, an area 513 for displaying settlement information, and an area 514 for confirming payment. By clicking or touching area 514, the user will perform a payment operation to complete the consumption of items in the shopping cart of the live broadcast room.

[0051] The above describes an exemplary process of a user shopping in a live broadcast room, including jumping from the interface 300 for selecting items in the live broadcast room to the shopping cart interface 400, and then jumping to the settlement interface 500. In some embodiments, the user can also jump directly from the interface for selecting items in the live broadcast room to the settlement interface, that is, skip the shopping cart interface and directly complete the shopping, thereby saving user operations and improving user experience.

[0052] Figure 6 An exemplary interface 600 for live shopping according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown, including another example of an interactive element for a live shopping cart. A user can select items in the current live broadcast room on the interface 600 and add them to the shopping cart. As shown, the interface 610 includes a control 630, which is linked to the settlement interface to confirm the settlement of the items in the shopping cart. When a user operation on the second control is received, the interface 600 can jump to, for example, Figure 5 The interface 500 shown in the figure enables quick settlement.

[0053] In order to facilitate users to perform quick checkout, interface 600 may also include a control 620 for displaying summary information of items that have been added to the shopping cart. For example, the summary information may include price information, number of items, and point of interest information of the items that have been added to the shopping cart. Thus, the user can directly obtain information about the items that have been added to the shopping cart on interface 600 to decide whether to check out directly without having to jump to the shopping cart interface. In some embodiments, control 620 may be linked to the shopping cart interface. When the user interacts with control 620, interface 600 may jump to the shopping cart interface, for example Figure 4 Interface 400 is shown. In some embodiments, a graphic or symbol indicating a hot zone (ie, having interactive capabilities) such as ">" may be displayed in or near control 620 to prompt the user to interact with it.

[0054] Similar to interface 300, interface 600 may include a shopping cart icon 603 located above the item list, which links to the interface of the live broadcast room shopping cart. In some embodiments, when there are already items in the shopping cart, the shopping cart icon 603 may not be displayed. Alternatively, the shopping cart icon 603 may always be displayed, regardless of whether there are items in the shopping cart.

[0055] References Figures 1 to 6 The interface design and interaction process for live shopping according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are described. Compared with the existing general shopping cart design for all live broadcast rooms, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a shopping cart dedicated to the current live broadcast room and the corresponding interface design and interaction process, so as to more effectively present information of interest to users during the live broadcast and improve the user experience.
